Some idiot just shot up a Sikh temple outside Milwaukee. Apparently the temple and Sikh-owned businesses there have been hassled recently by rednecks mistaking them for Muslims, and this is apparently an extension of that.

Apparently the guy led a hate group called End Apathy. I can't imagine someone being so angry about the existence of Sikhs that he would have to go in and shoot up the place. I don't think anyone, in general, has been pissed at Sikhs since Indira Gandhi was assassinated. So it would almost have to be that he was woefully misinformed about the difference between Sikhs and Muslims.

If you think about it, the reporter just kept it in the same idiotic generalization spirit.

"An unrepentant Breivik, 33, gave the Oslo court a stiff-armed, clench-fisted salute before being handed the steepest possible penalty, 21 years. His release, however, can be put off indefinitely should he still pose a threat to a liberal society left traumatized by his bomb and shooting rampage last July."

So I guess it's a matter of language. The families and citizens are satisfied accordin to what the paper says. Maybe it makes them feel like caring humans to not hand out life sentences and forces their justice system to review convicts at least every 21 years.

Just north of Dayton is the Neil Armstrong Air and Space Museum. I went in the early 80s and again in 2006, and the movie hadn't changed, they were still getting ready to launch the Challenger and talking about Skylab.
